Welcome! A message from Town Supervisor Don Clavin
Summer is truly the greatest time of the year in Hempstead Town, but Autumn has always been close behind. The town’s Department of Parks and Recreation continues to offer stellar programs and events through the fall season when cooler temperatures and the start of the school year offer new and exciting opportunities for people of all ages. Parks, museums, golf courses, and nature preserves are still operating at 100 percent capacity during the fall, and an exciting line-up of activities awaits America’s largest township. From athletic programs and fitness classes to cultural arts classes, youth programs, and our annual triathlon, there is truly something for everyone in the Town of Hempstead. We encourage all residents to join in the fun that is Autumn in Hempstead Town.
